The Robert Simpson Company Limited, commonly known as Simpson's until 1972, then as Simpsons, and in Quebec sometimes as Simpson, was a Canadian department store chain that had its earliest roots in a store opened in 1858 by Robert Simpson. In 1952 Simpson's started a 50-50 joint venture in Canada named Simpsons-Sears Limited (later Sears Canada) with Sears, Roebuck, the American retailer. Simpsons-Sears stores remained distinct from the Simpson's stores and the parent companies' agreement included language to keep them from competing too directly with each other.

  • Simpsons était une chaîne de grands magasins canadiens. Elle fut fondée par Robert Simpson sous le nom de The Robert Simpson Company en 1872 et prit le nom de Simpson's par la suite jusqu'aux années 1960. À la mort du fondateur en 1897, le commerce fut vendu à un ensemble d'investisseurs car il n'avait pas d'héritier mâle. La chaîne fut vendue en 1978 à la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson et finalement intégrée dans sa propre chaîne La Baie entre 1986 et 1991. (fr)

The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) purchased the Simpsons-branded stores in 1978, but they were later converted to The Bay stores by the early 1990s. As part of the 1978 agreement, U.S.-based Sears acquired full ownership of Simpsons-Sears Limited. (en)
